Introduced way back in 2011, our Jungle Baroque set is one of our most popular motifs – and also among the most labor-intensive to produce.

Comprised of eight different jungle animal-themed variations – Elephant, Piranha, Rhinoceros, Monkey, Jaguar, Bird of Paradise, Parrot, and Iguana – which are available either individually or as a set of eight glasses (sets include one glass with each animal design), Jungle Baroque was inspired by a wide range of classical and modern sources.

After being mouth-blown by ARTĚL’s master craftsmen, each piece is sandblasted with a lush jungle-leaf design, giving it a pleasantly textured finish. Next, it is hand-colored and kiln-fired. Finally, each piece is hand-engraved with an image of a jungle animal in an ornate baroque-style frame. This multi-step process results in a truly unique object that is rich with detail and appeals equally to traditional and modern design sensibilities.

Interested in acquiring a Jungle Baroque piece – or perhaps a whole set – for yourself or a friend? You can find them in any of our Prague retail locations or in our online store.
